Zoe Saldana
The reason I chose Zoe Saldana is because she is a gorgeous, strong, and independent woman. She keeps her head up even if she’ hurting inside. She is an inspiration for Hispanic descendents. She is very focused and determined. Saldana has been working since the age of 21. She makes me want to keep pursuing my dreams. She sends a message to never give up when times get rough. I can relate to her when her father died. When I was twelve I lost my grandfather. That was one of the saddest days of my life. I was quiet and isolated from people for a while. My grades started to drop. Then one day in class we read about Hispanic celebrities. One of those Hispanic celebrities was Zoe Saldana. That’s when I learned that she lost her father at age nine. Instead of giving up she and her mother moved to Dominican Republic. She strived to become an actress. That’s when I decided to do the same as her. I picked up my grades and made a plan to fulfill my goal. That’s why I fell in love with Zoe Saldana. We both are descendents of immigrants. So I can relate to how much her parents had to work to provide for her. I want to become successful at what I do when I grow up.
One great thing I adore about Zoe Saldana is her acting. Zoe makes my mouth water, heart throb, and gives me goose bumps when I see her on the screen. I remember the first time I saw her on the screen. It was in 2002 when my older cousin took me to the theater to watch Drumline. When Zoe Saldana came on the screen I fell in love. I never knew who she was at the time but she was my little kid crush. She played as a dance major. When she would dance I smiled so wide. Zoe is a great actress. She always does great on her roles. She chooses a role that challenges her. When she’s on set she takes in the character and becomes the character. Saldana makes the character believable. Another movie she dominated was Columbiana. In that movie she was like a Spanish Angelina Jolie. I watched that movies like ten times. The

I have 2 pets, one is a Maltese dog named Buttons and a kitty my family and I rescued named Greenie. I started at a head start school called Guadalupe Head Start-Loyola at the age of 3, then went on to Fairview Charter School, and now I'm at Hamilton. I was doing great at head start because it was mostly playtime and I was outgoing, I was doing pretty good in Fairview too, but as I aged and in the 5th grade I became very introverted. I started having bad grades because I was too nervous to raise my hand for help, or to talk to people that I had known for a…

    Michelle Alexander depicts the grim reality for many young African American men in today’s society in her book the New Jim Crow. The harsh reality for many of them is that they will never be able to fully participate in mainstream society and receive the benefits and basic rights that are taken for granted by the rest of the nation. Her findings show that existence of the Jim Crow laws have yet to fully disappear from society like many believe they have, when it fact, the restrictions of the Jim Crow era have merely been reinvented in the form of the United States’ federal justice system. Today, the United States prison populations are overwhelmingly comprised of people of color. Since the founding of the United States, African Americans have been “denied citizenship that was deemed essential to the foundation” (Alexander 2010: 1). The name given to this denial was Jim Crow and today even with Barack Obama, a black man, as the President of the this great nation, African Americans are still not treated as equals to whites by continually recreating Jim Crow through the federal justice system. As Michelle Alexander writes, “As a criminal, you have scarcely more rights, and arguably less respect, than a black man living in Alabama at the height of Jim Crow” (2010: 2).…
